Moruya River
The river has been producing some nice flathead, whiting and bream
down the front lately with fresh nippers as the bait of choice at
the moment. A few salmon and tailor are being caught over the
weed beds on metal slices and further up the river, opposite the
hospital some whiting are being caught on both blood and beach
worms.
Tuross
The flathead are being caught on the edge of the drop-off down the
front with soft plastics being the lure of choice for these in the
Atomic 3 inch Prong or the Squidgie Fish Pro 100mm.
The perch and bream are in the snags and with the fresh water
coming into the system, they are really on the bite. The
brand new Strike-Pro suspending 2 inch Shrimp lure is currently a
smash hit in this area.
Beaches, Rocks and Offshore
Don't go there. The seas at the moment are too rough to risk
fishing - on the whole if you're thinking of fishing off the rocks,
outside or on the beaches this weekend, it's a good time for
maitenance.
However, before the big blow came through, Captain Ron onboard
Winda Woppa reported great catches of both tiger and rock flathead
in 40m of water as well as good numbers of snapper, leatherjackets,
mowies, sharks, nannygai and pigfish. Strips of fishbait were
the bait of choice for these species.
The run of albacore has started out on the Moruya canyons with
some nice fish around 8kg being caught, they are taking small
skirted lures for the majority - Black Magic Jetsettters are the
ideal size for this.
Remember the fish will always be there another day, so don't be
reckless and take on the rough seas.
Happy Fishing!
